Title | Grazing the Field: Voter uses of the media in election campaigns |

Abstract | In contemporary democracies, it has been argued by many theorists that the role of the media as the fourth estate has diminished by the trend towards softer news. Covering politics has become unpopular with audiences, therefore, the media corporations do not want to sacrifice viewers and circulation by concentrating on hard news issues like politics. As a consequence, voters are now forced to gather their information from a variety of sources, as the 'one trusted source' is no longer trusted. Political campaigners are able to use this trend to a variety of information sources to deliver messages which are uncorrupted by the media. |

Luke Skywalker wanted to unify the Jedi order and bring peace to the universe. Instead his wife, Mara, lies dead at the hands of an unknown assassin, his wayward nephew Jacen has seized control of the Galactic Alliance, and the galaxy has exploded in all-out civil war.
With Luke consumed by grief, Jacen Solo works quickly to consolidate his power and jumpstart his plan to take over the Jedi. Convinced he's the only one who can save the galaxy, Jacen will do whatever it takes, even ambush his own parents.
With the Rebel confederacy driving deep into the Core to attack Coruscant and the Jedi under siege, Luke must reassert his position. Only he can lead the Jedi through this crisis, but it means solving the toughest problem Luke's ever faced. Does he fight alongside his nephew Jacen, a tyrant who's taken over the GA, or does he join the rebels to smash the Galactic Alliance he helped create?

Title: | Annotated Checklist of the Fishes of Midway Atoll, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands |
Author: | Randall, John E; Earle, John L; Pyle, Richard L; Parrish, James D; Hayes, Therese |
Date: | 1993-10 |
Publisher: | University of Hawaii Press Randall JE, Earle JL, Pyle RL, Parrish JD, Hayes T. 1993. Annotated checklist of the fishes of Midway Atoll, northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Pac Sci 47(4): 356-400. |
Abstract: | A total of 266 species of fishes are listed from Midway Atoll in
the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, of which 258 are reef and shore fishes. The inshore fish fauna of Midway is impoverished by comparison with the 457 species of reef and shore fishes known from the main Hawaiian Islands (Hawaii to Niihau). The fewer fish species reported from Midway must be due partially to less collecting effort. However, the cooler sea temperature and lack of certain high-island habitats at the atoll are probably the principal causes of the disparity. Some species attain larger size at Midway than in the main Hawaiian Islands, and an explanation is proposed for Midway fishes being more easily approached, in general, by divers. |

dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT The magnitude of the AIDS epidemic is well documented. It has been shown that Africa constitutes about 70 % of people infected with HIV worldwide. Efforts to control the AIDS epidemic have focused heavily on studies pertaining to the biology, biochemistry and structural biology of HIV and on the interactions between HIV proteins and new drugs. One of the most challenging problems in AIDS therapy is that HIV develops drug-resistant variants rapidly. Extensive research has been dedicated to designing resistance-evading drugs for HIV-1 protease (predominantly subtype B), which is crucial for the maturation of viral, structural and enzymatic proteins. There are 10 subtypes of HIV-1 within the major group of the virus, with subtype C accounting for about 95 % of infections in South Africa. Since HIV-1 antiretroviral treatment has been developed and tested against the B subtype, which is prevalent in North America, Western Europe and Australia, an important question relates to the effectiveness of these drugs against the C subtype. At this point, however, little is known about inhibitor-resistant mutations in the subtype C. The study, therefore, looked at the two active site mutations (V82A and V82F/I84V) in the South African HIV-1 subtype C protease (C-SA) emerging from the viral population circulating in patients. These mutations are well-characterized within the framework of the subtype B and are known to cause cross-resistance to most of inhibitors currently in clinical use. Protein engineering techniques were used to generate the V82A and the V82F/I84V variants. Comparative studies with the wild-type HIV-1 C-SA protease were performed. The spectral properties of the V82A and the V82F/I84V variants indicated no changes in the secondary structure in the respective variant proteins. Tryptophan and tyrosine fluorescence indicated a major difference in the intensities at the emission maxima for all three proteins. The fluorescence intensity of the V82F/I84V variant, in particular, was significantly enhanced indicating the occurrence of tertiary structural changes at/near the flap region. Both mutations did not impact significantly upon catalytic function. Both variants also had the same Km values comparable to that of the wild-type enzyme. The catalytic efficiencies and the kinetic constants were lowered 3.6-fold for the V82A mutation and 6-fold for the V82F/I84V mutation relative to the wild-type C-SA protease. Inhibition studies were performed using four inhibitors in clinical use (saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir and nelfinavir). For the V82A variant, IC50 and Ki values for saquinavir and nelfinavir iv were not affected, whilst those for ritonavir and indinavir were 5- and 9-fold higher than the wild-type C-SA protease, respectively. Against the V82F/I84V variant, however, the inhibition constants were drastically weaker and characterized by IC50 and Ki ratios ranging from 50 to 450. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was also used to determine the binding energetics of saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir and nelfinavir to the wild-type C-SA, V82A and V82F/I84V HIV-1 protease. The V82A mutation lowered the Gibbs energy of binding for the respective four clinical inhibitors by 0.4 kcal/mol, 1.3 kcal/mol, 1.5 kcal/mol and 0.6 kcal/mol, respectively, relative to the wild-type C-SA HIV-1 protease. The affinity of V82A HIV-1 protease for saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir and nelfinavir (Kd = 1.85 nM, 2.00 nM, 12.70 nM and 0.66 nM, respectively, at 25 °C) was in the range of 2- to 13-fold of magnitude weaker than that of the wild-type C-SA protein. The clinical inhibitors exhibited the highest binding affinity to both the wild-type and the V82A enzymes, but were extremely sensitive to the V82F/I84V mutation. The V82F/I84V mutant reduced the binding of saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir and nelfinavir 117-, 1095-, 474- and 367- fold, respectively. A drop in Kd values obtained for the V82F/I84V in association with saquinavir, ritonavir, indinavir and nelfinavir was consistent with a decrease of between 2.8 - 4.2 kcal/mol in ΔG, which is equivalent to at least 2 to 3 orders of magnitude in binding affinity. Taken together, thermodynamic data indicated that the V82A and V82F/I84V active site mutations in the C-SA subtype lower the affinity of the first-generation inhibitors by making the binding entropy less positive (unfavorable) and making the enthalpy change slightly less favorable. | en |

Verizon FiOS Best Overall of Widely-Available TV, Internet, And Phone Bundle Providers
Regional Cable-Company WOW Also Top-Rated for All Services and Bundling; Report Highlights Five Ways to Get Great Service and Big Savings on Telecom Services
YONKERS, NY – There are few TV, phone, and Internet providers that manage to please subscribers on all counts, and those that do don't typically serve a lot of consumers. Verizon FiOS, which is available in portions of 12 mostly Eastern states, Washington, D.C., southern California and Texas, was cited as highly rated among providers offering all three services, based on the latest subscriber survey on telecom providers from the Consumer Reports National Research Center. However, WOW, a regional telecom provider serving four Midwestern states, was also top-rated.
The full report on Internet, phone, and TV service appears in the June issue of Consumer Reports and online at www.ConsumerReports.org.
Based on the survey, Verizon FiOS scored higher than the major cable companies for TV picture, sound, and channel selection and received Consumer Reports' highest mark for Internet speed. However, FiOS had more complaints than most about bills for triple play and subscribers must rent a receiver for every TV, which all cable companies may not require.
In the areas of four Midwestern states where WOW is available, the provider is worth serious consideration, earning high marks across the board for its bundled telecom service. Customers' responses about its Internet, TV, and phone services also put it among the top providers in Consumer Reports' ratings for each of the three services.
"With the very best providers so limited in availability, the leading options for many consumers will be either the cable provider where they live or satellite-TV service, paired with Internet and likely phone service from other providers," said Paul Reynolds, Electronics Editor for Consumer Reports. "The best choice for you may depend in part on your particular cable company, since cable varied widely in satisfaction, depending on the provider."
Next-best alternatives to WOW and Verizon FiOS included the cable companies Bright House Networks, along with Cox and Cablevision/Optimum; as well as AT&T's U-verse service.
Consumer Reports has outlined five strategies consumers can use to get the best service and money-saving offers from their telecom provider.
Get ready to bargain. While seven out of 10 readers with a triple play package didn't try to bargain on their telecom bills, 90 percent of those that did got some accommodation. Price reductions led the list of concessions, with around 40 percent of bargainers reporting savingsof up to $50 a month. Hagglers' experiences also suggest that it can pay to let the provider know consumers are ready to drop some or all of its services.
Push back when rates rise. If a provider's rates soar after a deal ends, push back. Consumer Reports recommends consumers use competition among the providers in their area, if available, as an advantage. However, be prepared for resistance from TV providers. Companies are increasingly keeping track of what promotions each customer has been given and may offer smaller discounts when asked for another break. According to Phillip Dampier, of the website StopTheCap.com, the key word is 'cancel.' Schedule a disconnection date a week or two in the future for a better chance to be added to the telecom company's disconnect list, which may result in the consumer being offered aggressive deals as a last-ditch effort from the telecom providers.
Don't overbuy on Internet. According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), eight out of 10 consumers don't know what speed they are getting from their Internet service providers. Light usage homes are typically characterized by one or two users at a time, with email activity and small file uploads. Light users may only need Internet speeds of up to 3Mbps (megabits per second). Moderate usage is characterized by three simultaneous users at times that are known to stream video (sometimes in HD) and use Internet services such as iTunes and Vudu. Moderate users are advised to have Internet speeds between 6 and 12 Mbps. Consumer Reports recommends that heavy users have an Internet speed of at least 15 Mbps to meet the needs of high data demands and up to four users online at once- some even on tablets or smart phones. Consumer Reports also found that speeds don't always live up to company claims and advises consumers to visit broadband.gov/qualitytest to independently gauge their Internet speeds.
Look to phone for savings. More than half of Consumer Reports subscribers use Internet-based phone service—which includes phone service from cable companies—instead of a traditional landline. Ooma, Vonage and MagicJack are all VoIP (Voice over Internet protocol) services with their own unique pricing benefits. All Internet-based phone service comes at the cost of risking the loss of service—including emergency 911 calls—if power or broadband service fails, but one can get a backup battery for cable phone service, which is not the case for Ooma, Vonage and MagicJack. That might make a cell phone the only option in an emergency, provided it works at home.
Downsize the TV service. Only about nine percent of Consumer Reports readers didn't receive TV programming from a cable, satellite or phone-company provider. With the recession and online TV prominence, many cable and satellite TV providers have been pushed to offer economy TV services costing as low as $25-$35 for local channels and a bevy of basic channels. These packages might suffice, especially for those that combine a basic TV package with other online TV and streaming options. Additional tips that could save consumers anywhere from $6 to $20 a month include dropping the DVR and going back to free TV from an antenna, which receives over-the-air signals from ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS, among others, all digital and mostly HD.

Trees in Conservation Areas which are already protected by a tree preservation order are subject to the normal tree preservation order controls.
Trees often make a major contribution to the character of a Conservation Area, consequently there are also restrictions relating to those trees which are not the subject of a tree preservation order. You are required to give the Council 6 weeks notice in writing if you propose to carry out work.
If you are in doubt, you should contact the Council's Tree Preservation Order Assistant who can advise whether you will need to give notice and provide you with the appropriate application forms. Alternatively, the forms are also available from the Planning Portal, which enables you to apply online. In the meantime, you are advised not to carry out any work without the appropriate Conservation Area Consent.
If you deliberately destroy a tree in a conservation area or damage it in a manner likely to destroy it, you could be liable for a fine.

This instructable is also a summary of my own experiances in constructing funky light objects using the electronic from a disposal camera, as the knowledge of other projects and constructive ideas from the internet.
So it was my aim to write an clear DIY :-)))))) tutorial which can be followed by everyone who tries to do it for him- (her)self.
Before I started my instructable career, I was looking severeal times in the internet and found a lot of similiar projects which worked with this electronic. There was only one problem to me because nearly all of them had one common mistake: You never saw where to solder exactly the last wire to finish the project successfull!
That´s why I sat down and tried to find out my own best solution. I have to say that I´m not really good in working with electronics and I also can not draw the circuit of the used electronic from the disposal camera but I can show you now exactly where you have to solder your wires to light a flickering candle bulb, a cfl-tube , NIXIE-tube or a Neon Glow Bulb with only using a 1.5 Volts battery. I tested a lot of different disposal camera types (Agfa, Kodak, Fujii) and came to the conclusion that the ones from Fujii work best. Since then I always use only the electronics from Fujii-disposal cameras.
And now here comes my solution in which way I use to work with and I hope that will answer most of your questions about it.
If you follow carefully myt really detailed step by step instructabble, you should get an impressive result.
Before you start please notice two things:
First: There exist two different types of disposal camera s from Fujii which I used: One is driven by an AAA-battery and the other one uses an AA-battery. I call them the "AA-Type" and the "AAA-Type".
Second: Don´t wreck your health and please obay the follwing advices:
***Disclaimers***This instructable works with voltages in excess of 250V. This is more than enough to give you a potentially fatal electric shock if handled incorrectly. If you are unfamiliar with how to work with high voltage, please refrain from performing this instructable. Exercise caution throughout the following steps to avoid electrical dangers and also use insulated tools like pliers and screwdrivers and so on.
If you choose to undertake this instructable, you do so at your own risk.
Please obey that most of the gasfilled CFL-Tubes also contain some Quicksilver (Hg). Dont break them!!!
This instructable involves soldering. A soldering iron becomes very hot during its use, to the point where it can cause instant second-degree burns. Exercise caution throughout the following steps to avoid burns. If you choose to undertake this instructable, you do so at your own risk.
I found a 2.5v 500 ma dc output adapter at a local second hand store and have been using it now for 8-9 days straight with out failure. I have it in open air currently but will be putting it in smaller and smaller enclosures trying to force failure from elevated temperatures. The power supply I found has three outputs allowing me to power three circuits and three individual bulbs with in one lamp. Very excited for the possibilities, plasma cadelabra being one. Pics to come as soon as I work out some of the finer details.
also the adapter is 2.5v but is reading 3.9+v at the circuirt board. So I this circuit has been running with almost 4v for 10 or so days now.
This is quite normal with 100 Ohms resistor. But you will find only some milli amperes. So if you use a cfl light or nixietube or another neonlight bulb etc. it will run without a problem(too less power(milliamps)). The lamp regulates the voltage down to110 to 200 volts you will see!
Hope this answer your question
Aeon Junophor
Just for interest sake. The CFL lamps in South Africa have a 12volt transformer in them. Is it the same in your country and if so did you remove it.
I really don´t know wether the transformers of cfl in germany runs with 12 Volts because in my projects I onlyuse the glasstube and fire them with the pcb from the disposal cameras.
Aeon Junophor
You are right with it! And you can use the HV either as DC or AC as youcan see;-))
Greets Aeon Junophor
correct me if i'm wrong.....
(also, i've used these circuits as tasers to mess with friends and the worst it's ever done (with the capacitor intact....) was burn alittle. (.... it hurt too. >>. but removing the capacitor makes this circuit almost harmless as far as i can tell)
while the current IS what kills, we must remember ohm's law, at high voltages the body has less resistance and therefore more current is able to pass through it.
Finally, apply voltage to certain parts of the body and it will still be fatal even well below pain levels. Your electrical signals from the brain are modulated voltages not amps so a shock that feels harmless can (in rare instances) disrupt the electrical pulses from your brain or simulate a 'fake pulse' causing your heart to beat early, seize, or fail if the shock is close enough. Lets not talk about a shock to the brain too.
Tasers rely on a complete system overload, they are much more powerful than your own bodies signalling neurons so easy for your organs and brain to discern from neuronal signals. Small shocks not so much. Stay safe man. :)
You are wrong. The input voltage is fine and below danger levels, but the capacitor is still very much able to give you quite a shock especially if it is disconnected before the charge is released in the camera flash. It's not going to seriously hurt as the amperage is low, but it's plenty enough to mess with, or even short out a pacemaker and thus the warning is still very necessary.
Even though we remove it from the circuit, for the short term (a few days) a capacitor acts like a battery and stores charge without a circuit so it is still a hazard.
Thanks for your kind words. Yes you hit the point why I left the schematic. I could have shown a drawing too (I am able to do so), but what for? Such a schematic might be very helpful to only a small group of electronic engineers, technicans, home constructors or electronic freaks but I thought that it was much better to show the circuit directly so that nearly everyone could follow....
I experienced that a lot of people worked with this instructable successfully (and of course told it to me) and that was my aim!!
Cheers Aeon Junophor
Very nice idea.
I will try to test your new grip of HV bridged in the described way.
I think there will be no further problem for the circuit to do it in this way but you may test it with one AAA-batterie and let it run down to see what happens. Then you can tell us your result
I beg your pardon you are absolutely right. I took the disclaimer from your site but only for that reason that I have not known the right words for explaining the danger at that time. Let me say that I am very sad not to mention you as the source that´s my fault.
But let me also say that your instructable was the one which brought me to the job working with nixie tubes and disposal camera flash units besides the other neon gas filled lamps or cfl-bulbs. That waslong before I presented my first instructable here.
So once again sorry for my mistaking and please accept my apology. I will try to do it better in future
I was just giving you a caution, there are some people out there that become annoyed if somebody copies their work without referencing it.
I tried to send you some pictures of my latest project and my E-Mail would not cooperate, so here is one or two, I would also like to thank you for this instructable because I was able to modify a different HV unit from another camera to work as you say.
The unit did produce a nice glow on one of the bulbs I have sent you when connected to the AC side of the diode.
Oh and there will be a clock on the top of my project to finish it out, plus a pendulam and some weights that are illuminated.
Sorry that I have not answered yet. (I explained you why).
Oh this looks very good!!! FIVE points worth!!!!
The wood you used will shine very good after finishing indeed . Very tricky the ankles in the mirror front .There will be surely an interesting play with reflections of the moving pendulum and also the glowing oft the neon lamps .
The lamp on the right photo looks very stylish I love it !!! This fits perfectlly in!!
I am longing for your presentation.
Thanks again for the bulbs my brain is already working........;-)))
Cheers Aeon Junophor
It appears that if you take your feed from the DC side, the power is steady as shown by the tube staying lit. Is the DC voltage high enough or could you envision any changes to this Instructable to meet this need?
We are not electrically that knowledgeable, but want to get there if we can.
Any experience in how long to expect the circuit to work before something blows?
If you don´t raise up the voltage for more than 3,0 Volts, you can use this electronic circuit as long as other electronic circuits too. The only "weak" part is the transistor which might get too hot (and then melts/blows) if you take too much voltage.
Yours Aeon Junophor
Nice avatar indeed.
I dont-Think so becaiuse you normally need al litte bit more amps to generate th cathode beam.
Take care of you while trying because of the possible x-ray!
Yours Aeon Junophor
I really do`t know if it works. Isn´t it so that a ccfl needs about 1.000 Volts?
Please report about your tying and experience.
Yours Aeon Junophor
I think 12 Volts are to powerfull The transitior will oergeat very fast and the electronis breaks down.
But as you can see in my description you can reach nearly 210 Volts (AC or DC) by using a lamp an when measuring without a lamp the HV contact s you`ll get more than 300 Volts AC or DC
thank you for you help,what do you think a good in put would be? i have seen this instructables i am new to this site and it has peeked the tinker in me
But this seems to be the only possible way to put all important facts one time togther so that everyone could follow the steps successful
Yours Aeon Junophor

Skin and joint infection by Mycobacterium chelonae: rescue treatment with interferon gamma. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 17613267 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
INTRODUCTION: Atypical mycobacteria are environmental organisms that cause opportunistic infections in humans. CASE REPORT: A 50-year-old electronics engineer sought advice about starting TNFalpha antagonist therapy for ankylosing spondylitis. Disease duration was 23 years and current treatment was methylprednisolone 4 mg/d. Atypical skin lesions and knee arthritis were noted. Fluid aspirated from the knee showed inflammatory properties and a few acid-fast bacteria, which a line probe assay identified as Mycobacterium chelonae. The same organism was found in a skin biopsy from a thigh lesion. Antimicrobial treatment was started immediately. Inadequate results 6 months later prompted synovectomy of the knee followed by interferon gamma, 50 microg/m(2) body surface area subcutaneously 3 times a week. After 16 months, there were no new skin or joint lesions, and the antimicrobials and interferon gamma were therefore discontinued. CONCLUSION: This highly unusual case suggests that interferon gamma may be effective in patients with M. chelonae infection that fails to respond adequately to antimicrobials. |

Information on interlibrary loan
General guidelines
Via interlibrary loan you can order literature which is not available at Siegen University Library from other libraries. You have to be a registered library user to do so.
Delivery time usually takes 1 – 2 weeks, but longer waiting periods are possible. You can check the progress of your interlibrary loan orders in your interlibrary loan account.
Ordering books and essays from books and other media
Interlibrary loan orders for books are placed electronically. To do so you have to log in with your library card number and password.
- Use the search mask to find the required title.
- Choose the respective title from the list and decide whether you need the entire book or only the copy of an extract / article / essay.
- Within the section 'Lieferbedingungen' (terms of delivery) you can state if you are also interested in other editions of the book and if you would like to have placed a reservation on the book in case it is lent our in all libraries taking part in the interlibrary loan system. If the book is only available by placing a reservation, it is necessary to wait for the book beeing returned. Thus the delivering time will be longer.
- You will be given a summary of your order at the end including an order code. You will need this code if you have any questions concerning your order.
- Please note that you will need to place a separate order for each individual item or volume.
- If you cannot find the title you are looking for you can place your order via a blank ordering form. The link to this form can be found at the end of the list of your search results.
Ordering journal articles
Interlibrary loan orders for journal essays are placed electronically. To do so you have to log in with your library card number and password.
- Use the search mask to find the title of the journal in which the essay was published.
- Choose the printed edition of the journal (not the [electronic resource]) from the search results. If you cannot find the journal you are looking for or if no printed version of the journal exists you can place your order via a blank ordering form. The link to this form can be found at the end of the list of your search results. Please note that in the case of journals that are only published electronically it depends on the licence agreements whether or not the title is available for delivery
- Complete the ordering form with the details of the article you are interested in.
- In the section headed "Lieferbedingungen" (terms of delivery) please choose a form of shipping as well as a type of notification. Essays will be sent as a copy. They will usually be available for collection at the circulation desk in the main library Adolf-Reichwein-Straße (AR). University staff members may also receive their copies via interoffice mail as long as they choose "Zustellung über Hauspost" (delivery via interoffice mail) from the list of shipping forms and include all relevant details of their interoffice address (name, department / faculty, building block and street address).
- There may be higher charges for essays longer than 20 pages. Please fill out the box "Kostenübernahme bis" (meeting the costs up to).
- You will be given a summary of your order at the end including an order code (TAN). You will need this code if you have any questions concerning your order.
Placing an order after a search with DigiBib-Metasuche
You can also place an interlibrary loan order directly after a search with Digibib-Metasuche:
- At first choose an appropriate set of databases (Datenbankprofil) and within this set the appropriate single databases.
- Use the search mask to find the required title.
- Following the link "Wie komme ich dran" you are also given the possibility of ordering the title by interlibrary loan.
An interlibrary loan will cost you EUR 1.50. This handling fee will be charged to your user account, and is due irrespective of fulfillment. For university staff (with library card for university staff) interlibrary loans are presently free of charge.
In the terms of delivery you can also choose up to which sum you would like to meet any additional costs (recommended: at least EUR 8). Additional costs may occur in the case of essays longer than 20 pages or when a title needs to be ordered via the international interlibrary loan.
Besides that the postage for any notification via mail will be charged to your account in case you have not registered an e-mail address.
Not all titles are available via interlibrary loan; excluded are in general:
- Items that are available in Siegen
- Items that are available for less than 15 Euros via book stores
- Media recently acquired and books that have not been registered in any library
- Loose-leaf publications and complete issues or volumes of journals
- Media which generally are not accessible to the public such as term papers, final exam papers, teachers' editions of workbooks, tests or recordings of TV programs
- Books with elementary or purely practical content such as cookery books or travel guides
- Items of value, especially works published before 1800
- Items of extraordinary format
- Items subject to special copy-right regulations, as for example electronic books, standards and patents
Notification and collection
You will receive a notification by e-mail or postal mail (postage: see costs) as soon as your interlibrary loan order has been delivered.
The delivered items will be kept for you for up to 10 days. Please pick them up within this time period by presenting your library card at the circulation desk in the main library Adolf-Reichwein-Straße (AR).
Loaning out and returning media
The lending period for items that have to be returned is set by the lending library and can be found on your pink interlibrary loan form. The loan period begins when the book is placed at your disposal, not when you collect the book!
Please return the item(s) handing in ALL receipts and forms you have at the circulation desk in the main library Adolf-Reichwein-Straße (AR).
If you require an extension of the lending period please present the item in question with any receipts and forms that go with it including your library card at the interlibrary loan desk in the main library Adolf-Reichwein-Straße. Please note that an extension is only possible if the loaning library agrees and if the application for an extension of the lending period has been handed in before the lending period expires. In case the extension is not agreed to you will receive a return request.
In case of overdue items a fine will be charged to your account, calculated according to the Gebühren- und Entgeltordnung der Universitätsbibliothek Siegen (Charge and Compensation Regulations of the University Library of Siegen).
Terms of use
The University library has to adhere to any and all terms of uses set by the loaning libraries. This includes such restrictions as "Nur Lesesaalbenutzung" (reading room use only) or "Kopierverbot" (copying prohibited). Those media are available for use in the reading room, main library Adolf-Reichwein-Straße (AR), Floor 0.
Reader-Printer and Film-Scanners for microforms are available for use by appointment.
International interlibrary loan
If an item which has been published outside of Germany is not available in any German library belonging to the interlibrary loaning system, your order can be placed to the international interlibrary loaning system. This can and will only be done with your consent. This will probably lead to longer waiting periods and higher expenses which will have to be carried by you. For more detailed information please contact the interlibrary loan department.
